That just means you're old $1.23 for me (though then it went to $1.06 - #1 least expensive year). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucin 923 Posted March 11, 2022 .90 for me is what the article says but I remember .79. Maybe because I got my license in February. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted March 12, 2022 It was 33 cents almost everywhere (in NY), and it remained there for years. It did not bounce up and down like it does now. (Yes, I know I'm old. See my screen name.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45Doll 5,873 Posted March 14, 2022 Now let's see the chart showing the value of a dollar in the same years. That way you'll know how much you've lost since then in the value of everything you own priced in U.S. dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we look back to 1913 and the creation of the Federal Reserve, the 1913 dollar is now worth just about a nickel. The gas article only went back to 1937.

1LtCAP 4,262 Posted March 17, 2022 they're suggesting locking gas caps.....dumb idea. if they want the gas outta your car, they're gonna siphon it or punch a hole in your tank. better to lose a couple hundred in gas than a nearly 1k fuel tank.......
